But I think that the status quo will lead to more clutter, which the removal
of was part of the goal in Gnome 3.  If an extension is doing something that
is system wide, which I believe that setting the background or the theme is,
then it should be the system settings.  I am sure that there are other
extensions that should not be putting their settings in the system settings,
but then maybe we should provide them with an appropriate space to put
these, the overview does not seem the correct place.
